Futuresource IFA Show Report - Worldwide Sep 18

IFA 2018 hosted 1,814 exhibitors and 245,000 visitors in Berlin, with roughly 150,000 of these trade visitors. The number of exhibitors was up slightly on 2017, however visitor numbers were down on last years 253,000.

The show floor space was increased this year, from 159,000 square meters to 161,200. Organisers claim they could have filled even more space had it been available. Some vendors chose not to participate as IFA could not offer large enough booth space.

Nine analysts represented Futuresource in Berlin at IFA 2018, the key Consumer Electronics show for Europe, to attend the press conferences, view products in the booths and speak to contacts on the show floor. This report summarises the key findings that relate to the major CE categories.
